Bridgit,
The hidden feature in GnuCash simply means that the account will not be
visible in the Account Tree (and any popup selection menus ? - see below),
not that the account is inactive, and not in use at all and is effectively
removed from the account tree.
A hidden account can still have
For sanity's sake I imported the Quicken file into another financial
program and the results were similar to what is in Quicken. There were
many many more accounts that are closed (aka zeroed balances) that
GNUcash was reporting differently. And if the account had a balance when

It's a nice way to handle joint accounts that are no longer joint yet open.
Also, for handling very old accounts not reconciled that are closed. Plus
during the import process from Quicken lots of transactions were removed
from accounts. For example, anything that says cash or salary. As you all
Sounds like a bug or mis-feature in quicken to me. I think I'd prefer that my
accounts package didn't hide money from me.
Seriously, though thinking about it for a second, what financial institution
would allow you to close an account you held with them and leave a running
balance for the
No not all have zero balances. However, Quicken allows the account to be

I recently imported 20 years of financial data. The issue I'm facing is
that marking an account as hidden doesn't remove the balance from the
total of the higher level accounts. Such that only active (unhidden)
